Potenza-Francavilla: condemned to playouts | Sports People

After the draw seven days ago in Messina, the last match of the championship will be played, pitting Potenza against Virtus Francavilla. Delicate match for both teams, on the one hand Potenza, always the subject of dispute, who necessarily need a victory to avoid worse trouble if they want to stay calm. In the event of a draw, however, we will have to hope for the results of the other teams involved in the fight not to be relegated. On the other hand, there aren’t even all these nuances, mathematically all that remains is to gamble for survival playout; However, resisting Monterosi’s return could mean a more approachable opponent, at least hypothetically.

To guarantee the best possible environmental situation, the Lucanian club, after the last home match against Crotone, repeats the campaign “Everyone at Viviani, we need you” with which a second entry is offered for one euro in any sector, buying a full ticket of the same. This time too, the fruits reaped were positive, with around four thousand spectators attending (3,989 is the box office figure). Even the ultras went out of their way to invite the rossoblù people to color the stadium by bringing scarves and flags and entering an hour before the kick-off, to get the team pumped up right from the warm-up and try to secure salvation in this season so far very complicated.

Enthusiasm sky high, the initial glance is beautiful, with the compact sector taking on color as per the initial intentions. Not least is the vocal support that pushes Potenza onto the pitch with its heart. It’s a shame that the team doesn’t reciprocate and the Curva’s hopes gradually give way to fear and discouragement, which inevitably affect the support.

Very tense atmosphere at the end of the match and the team leaving amidst the loud boos of the friendly public. Potenza, master of its own destiny, does not go beyond a miserable 0-0, Turris wins and is saved, Monterosi in turn, winning at the end against Foggia, closes the gap on Potenza itself to 8 points, condition not for the play-off match. Appointment now on May 12th in Teramo, for the first leg match. Whether a cursed season, in which many other goals were hoped for, can end worthily remains to be seen. What is certain is that even in adverse moments the lion will continue to roar and the love of his fans will continue to exist.

For Virtus Francavilla, however, everything is decided in the double challenge against fellow regional players Monopoli. The presence of his fans was beautiful and generous, in turn gathered compactly behind the protesting banner “Only for the shirt”. The inevitable corollary of chants, clapping, a couple of flags waving and a scarf to embellish their performance. If the team could have done something more during this season, whatever happens they can leave with the certainty of having done everything in their power to save the C’s dream.
